Waldorf Coleslaw and the Exciting Future

Well Uni has officially finished, I eagerly await my results so that I can start practising in the new year I've even managed to successfully get myself a job as a nutritionist, the future certainly looks bright and I am super excited about this next chapter in my life. 

I made this salad at work and have since made it several times with slight variations, it is super healthy and keeps really well, it's the salad I am going to bring to the table at Christmas time, I hope you enjoy it. 

 

Quarter head of cabbage (green) - finely shredded

2 sticks of celery - finely sliced on the diagonal

1 carrot - grated

1 spring onion - finely sliced

3 Tbs sultanas

Juice of one lemon

Half cup walnuts - rough chop

1 apple (or pear) - cored and thinly sliced

Tin of chickpeas (optional) - rinsed

3 Tbs fresh parsley - chopped

2 Tbs EVOO

Soak the sultanas in the lemon juice, preferably overnight, so that they plump up. 

Finely slice the apple and add to the lemony sultanas to coat. Put all of the ingredients except the walnuts into a bowl and combine, sprinkle walnuts on top. Enjoy with a nice glass of aged Riesling. 

Other stuff...

 Me drinking a coffee at my desk on my final days of study, there was plenty of this going on.

Lunch, toasted sprouted bread, feta, tofu, tomato, avocado and spring onion open sandwich, making and photographing food was always a good distraction from study.
